The Chicago White Sox are looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they continue their nine-game homestand tonight against the Seattle Mariners. After a tough loss last night, the Good Guys are counting on left-hander Anthony Kay to turn things around. Kay (1-1, 5.70 ERA) has struggled with consistency early this season—he hasn't pitched into the sixth inning since April 9 in Kansas City. The former KBO standout is still searching for the form that made him a star overseas, and tonight could be the perfect opportunity to find it against a Mariners lineup that's just waiting to break out.
On the other side, Seattle's Luis Castillo (0-3, 6.29 ERA) is having his own share of troubles. The right-hander has allowed runs in every start except his season debut, including two outings where he gave up seven runs. With both pitchers searching for answers, something's got to give—and the White Sox offense will look to take advantage.
Manager Will Venable is making a couple of smart adjustments to keep the lineup rolling after a solid offensive showing last night. He's swapping catchers and plugging in Randal Grichuk for Andrew Benintendi, who's dealing with neck soreness. Grichuk made an immediate impact yesterday with a pinch-hit home run, so he'll be looking to stay hot. Lucky for the Sox, Seattle slugger Luke Raley is out of the lineup—but Josh Naylor remains a threat in the middle of the order.
First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. CT, and you can catch all the action on CHSN or ESPN 1000. Let's get back in the win column, Sox fans!
